"I'm encouraged that we're starting to address some of the issues that have continued to haunt us," Smith said. "Being in conference play, whether it's a division game or non-division game, we have to take it as a chance to improve and work forward. We have to give the same focus and attention for non-division games as we do to the division games," stated Coach Smith.
UAPB (2-11-1/0-0-1) has lost three straight games, including losses to Alcorn State and Mississippi Valley as well.
